53About Me
Dr Lewis Ebert holds a BA in German and Philosophy, an MPhil in Asian History, and a PhD in History, all from the University of Oxford. Now in his seventh year at Oxford, he was awarded a scholarship in his first year at St Hilda’s College and has since built a strong academic and tutoring career. With over 50 hours of tutoring experience, Lewis has successfully guided many students from their first steps in the application process through to their first day at Oxford or Cambridge. His support covers every stage, including admissions strategy, personal statements, interview preparation, and transition into the intensity of Michaelmas term.
Lewis offers tutoring in modern languages, English, philosophy, history, and Asian and Middle Eastern languages. A passionate linguist and teacher, he particularly enjoys helping students refine their ideas and sharpen their confidence for interviews. His approach combines deep subject expertise with a supportive and practical understanding of the Oxbridge journey, making him an ideal mentor for ambitious students aiming for top academic success.
My teaching style
My teaching style is rooted in the Oxbridge tutorial system: discussion-based, intellectually challenging, and tailored to each student’s needs. I encourage students to think critically, question assumptions, and articulate their ideas with clarity and confidence. Every lesson is a conversation, designed to stretch understanding while building the skills needed for essays, interviews, and exams. I balance rigorous academic challenge with patient, supportive guidance, helping students not only master their subjects but also develop independent thought. By recreating the intensity and excitement of an Oxford tutorial, I aim to give students the tools, confidence, and curiosity that lead to success both in admissions and in their wider academic journey.
